      Deriving economic benefit from data

      KPMG brings together the power of three with our strategic alliance with Microsoft, Informatica and Snowflake. Combining KPMG’s business and functional expertise with the seamless integration platforms from Microsoft, Informatica and Snowflake, we offer our clients an unbeatable value proposition to help derive economic benefit from their data transformation initiatives.

      Capitalizing on data’s near limitless value to exploit its power

      Data is now the most significant asset an organization can possess. Businesses worldwide are making huge investments to unlock data’s secrets and enormous disruptive potential. It is at the heart of new business models, technologies and ecosystems of companies providing almost anything as a service.

      The information technology (IT) function’s success will therefore depend on how effectively it enables the organization to unleash the power of data. Many understand that data is the new gold—yet despite massive investments, many companies struggle to mine and refine it successfully. The reasons are many, including data fluency, complex and siloed system architectures, access controls and policies, cultural issues, and interoperability issues across the business. However, leading organizations are fundamentally reimagining their relationship with data and, as a result, transforming IT’s role to materially impact business outcomes. Over the next three to five years, leading companies are expected to adopt four key data principles into their operating models:

      1. Clarifying data accountabilities across the enterprise
      2. Embedding data fluency across the enterprise as a strategic imperative
      3. Moving data curation into the business as a core competency
      4. Reimagining a frictionless data supply chain

      Create a data value proposition grounded in business imperatives 

      Clarify functional accountabilities built into the operating model 

      Start the organization’s journey toward data literacy 

      Manage the cultural shift

      3. Developing a single source of truth to baseline opportunity areas

      Strategic alliances – KPMG, Microsoft, Informatica and Snowflake

      The strategic and technical partnerships between KPMG, Microsoft, Informatica and Snowflake provide a high level of trust and confidence in building a scalable, reliable and integrated solution that is seamless and interoperable.

      Snowflake and Informatica are software as a service (SaaS) platform built to provide the benefits of the cloud to clients. Snowflake, Informatica and Microsoft Azure have the capabilities to unify, integrate, analyze and share previously siloed data with a near-zero management platform that delivers virtually unlimited scalability, concurrency and high availability. Compliance with the UAE and global standards for security and data regulation is also critical. Therefore, the data is stored in the Snowflake platform on the Microsoft

      Azure cloud data center in the UAE.
